Michigan State Police Trooper Chris Mathews said a man was driving a passenger car westbound on D Avenue down a hill around 5:30 p.m. Monday when his car slid on the road.

The driver overcorrected and drove into the eastbound lane, where he was "T-boned" by the eastbound car.

The westbound driver, an adult man, was killed on impact. The eastbound driver, also an adult man, was taken to Bronson Methodist Hospital for treatment of his injuries.

Mathews did not know the ages or towns of either man. He said they were the only occupants of their vehicles.

As of 6:50 p.m., Mathews said police and emergency workers would be on the scene and would have the road shut down for at least another hour and a half. A state police team was working to reconstruct the crash.
